Bless their hearts. Thank goodness, no one was in the shop.

Thrift shop is now selling cars?

    Hahaha oh boy- I love using that stuff to create a positive advertisement. Someone left a HUGE pile of cr*p outside our door one morning so we put a picture on our facebook of it with a little caption saying, “Want to see the easy way to sell at our shop? Follow this link here to find out how to earn cash today!” Our clients thought it was hilarious XD

    Happy to hear that no one was in the shop at the time of the accident. Not the best way to advertise your shop.

      Hey Pat, great idea! “Our customers are SO excited to come in, they hit the gas instead of the brake!” Or “while we do NOT offer curbside service, you might want to bring the SUV to haul your Thrift Haul home!” 😉
